Located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, approximately half-way between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Coast, the Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh, North Carolina area features a mild, four-season climate.

There are typically about 220 days with sunshine each year. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year with July and August having the greatest amount of rainfall, and October and November the least.

During the winter months the mountains to our west form a partial barrier to cold air masses moving eastward across the U.S. As a result, there are few days in the heart of the winter season when the temperature falls bellow 32 Fahrenheit.

During the summer months our afternoon temperatures reach over 90 Fahrenheit on about one-quarter of the days (in mid-summer) but seldom reach 100 Fahrenheit. Even during the hottest weather periods, early morning temperatures usually drop into the lower 70’s.
